Ⅱ.阅读理解 One of the world's great natural wonders is in New Mexico, in the southwest of America. Nature has created huge moving hills of pure white sand. These sand dunes cover more than seventythousand hectares of desert. It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the United States. The bright white sand dunes are always changing，always moving, like waves on the ocean.Driven by strong winds, the sand moves and covers everything in its path. It is like a huge sea of sand. You may wonder how anything can live in this extreme environment of a white sand desert. There is not much rain.The heat in summer is intense. The sand lacks nutrients.Plants and animals struggle to survive. A few kinds of plants grow quickly to survive burial by the moving sand dunes. Several kinds of small animals have become white in color in order to hide in the sand. More than five hundred thousand people visit White Sands each year. They climb on the dunes and observe the moving sea of sand. White Sands is about twenty four kilometers southeast of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the visitor center at the entrance of the park, you can find out special activities and guided walks. You can drive about thirteen kilometers into the center of the dunes. It is like driving on a lonely white planet.Along the way there is information that tells about the natural history of White Sands. You can also explore the dunes on foot, seeing some unusual and beautiful plants and flowers. Signs along the trail tell about the plants growing in the sand. You can even camp there overnight. But you must be careful. It is easy to get lost in the waves of moving sand especially during sandstorms. There is no water to drink. The temperature can rise to thirty eight degrees Celsius in summer. There is no shelter from the sun's rays. White Sands is part of America's National Parks System, and it is just one of the unusual examples of America's natural and cultural treasures. 16．Which of the following plays a major role in making for the extreme environment?

Ⅲ.阅读表达 阅读下面短文并回答问题。 [1]How to protect child Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed. [2]For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with dangers for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers. With good guides and some education, the madness for the Internet can be safely conducted. “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can't have access to the Internet, we are cutting them off from their future.” [3]Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, but they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. One certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet. [4]A few other tips： —Don't put the PC in a child's room but ________ where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity. —Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online. —Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number. —Tell your child never to talk to people he or she meets online over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along. 20．What is the passage mainly about? (no more than 10 words ) ________________________________________________________________________ 21．What's the consequence if we forbid children to surf the Internet? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 22．Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 6 words) Don't put the PC in a child's room but ________________________ where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. 23．Which of the suggestions mentioned in the passage do you think is the best one? Why？(no more than 30 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 24．What does the word “them” (Line 9, Paragraph 3) probably refer to? (2 words) ________________________________________________________________________

[解析] 由第二段最后一句“If we tell our kids they can't have access to the Internet, we are cutting them off from their future.”可知答案。 22．keep it in the place/area [解析] 由空前的“Don't put the PC in a child’s room but”与空后的“where Man or Dad can keep an eye on things”可知。 23．The last one. Because the world on the Internet is different from the true world. We must learn to protect ourselves. [解析] 本题为开放性问题，考生可以根据自己的理解自由回答，但答案要符合题目要求，而且 要合情合理。 24．The kids. [解析] 由划线词所在句“? to talk to their kids and let them know ?”可知此处应该指的是“孩 子们”。
